| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We have regular oil changes on our 2001 dodge durango with 67,000 miles. about two week ago the oil gauge would show normal oil pressure and than would show no oil pressure at all. we had a vehicle serviced and was told that it was the oil sending unit. two weeks later we it replaced again. next we were told that we needed an engine flush and that would solve our problem. we told it a dodge dealer and had a bilstein engine done on it. after the engine flush we were told to bring it back around 500 miles and change the oil again. we drove it two blocks and had to return to the dealer. the oil gauge was doing the same thing and the engine was knocking. we were told by the dealership that there was probably oil sludge in the oil pan and leave it. we left it with the dealer and now we are being told that we need a new engine. i feel that there is a problem with dodge and their oil sludge issue. i find out that there are my others with this issue and are being told that they did not take of their vehicles. |
